Mormon Apostle Quentin Cook is tired of anonymous online haters - Cook fails to see the irony of his statement. The LDS.org site contains numerous unsigned and undated essays in an attempt to explain difficult historical issues and doctrines.

Mormon Church Admits the Book of Mormon is Not Historical There is no evidence of any actual history in the Book of Mormon.

What happened to Fanny Alger? Fanny Alger was Joseph Smith's first plural wife. The Mormon church retroactively lists her as one of his wives even though the well known affair and supposed marriage occurred years before the revelation of eternal marriage. See lds.org Marriage in kirtland and nauvoo Excerpt from the LDS.org (official church site): 'Joseph Smith acted on the angel’s first command by marrying a plural wife, Fanny Alger, in Kirtland, Ohio, in the mid-1830s. Several Latter-day Saints who had lived in Kirtland reported decades later that Joseph Smith had married Alger, who lived and worked in the Smith household, after he had obtained her consent and that of her parents.'

Book of Mormon - Discover America in 1976 - "I cringe when I think of the smugness I felt as to having the truth™ back in the 70's. It was a different time. General authorities and Mormon apologists now obfuscate previously clearly understood words and phrases from the Book of Mormon

Thanks! I really like the Quentin hypocrisy topic. Love it when they show people their true identities - hypocrites and liars.

The link to the Ensign doesn't work regarding the history in the Book of Mormon being denied "24 years ago".
Is there an updated link to that article?

The Ensign link worked for me. Here is an excerpt from that article from 1993: “Also, that there were two stones in silver bows—and these stones, fastened to a breastplate, constituted what is called the Urim and Thummim—deposited with the plates; and the possession and use of these stones were what constituted ‘seers’ in ancient or former times; and that God had prepared them for the purpose of translating the book.” (JS—H 1:34–35.)"

Of course they are now saying Smith used a stone in a hat.
